Every Pro Pickleball Player Does THIS

[@errettatv5690]

@Christian Alshon I noticed something intriguing that might take you to the next level. I noticed that almost all top men pros with incredibly fast hands, Ben Johns, JW Johnson, Dylan Frazier, Hayden, Staksrud, and many others, hold the handle slightly higher towards the middle of the handle in comparison to how you hold it towards the bottom (this lower grip is likely from playing tennis). I used to hold it near the bottom as I played tennis, but after transitioning to a more middle grip, my hand speed increased dramatically, and I had more stability on certain shots without sacrificing much power. I know with your already incredible hand speed and skills, this is definitely worth looking into and experimenting with. I hope this helps you.

What you're describing definitely lowers the swingweight and therefore increases hand speed. As a tennis player, I also hold it at the bottom. I noticed what you said and tried to hold it in the middle for a good month or so. In the end, I switched back because it just felt too weird for me lol

Gonna try it! I'm also a former tennis player. Cheers!👍👍

[@TweenerKing]

You got me thinking about it! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@MikhaillllKing]

it's very personal preference, and it can work only if it works for you. for instance Jaume Martinez Vich actually recommends holding at the bottom of the handle.

I ordered the tko-cx because of you. Watched all your videos twice. I feel great progression fast thanks to you!

[@TweenerKing]

I appreciate you watching! Hope you enjoy the paddle as much as I do!

[@patrickmcpatrick]

Great strategy session - you're a great athlete and can make the quick 2 steps forward from the baseline. Thank you for posting!👍👍

[@TweenerKing]

Was fun seeing you at the Virgnia Beach PPA tourney. Didn't get a chance to say hi but was cool watching you play.

[@TweenerKing]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it!

Good podcast with Picklepod! Can't wait to check out more of your videos and just subscribed to the newsletter! I've been breaking in the Bantam 14.3 TKO-C and it's hot!

[@TweenerKing]

Welcome aboard!

Great Job 👏 enjoyed it

[@izziic4527]

I really like your points that you're making I think that's a good strategy. But isn't it better to be still and ready for that 4th aggressive volley? Collin is patient and super still when he hits his reset, if he tries to make another step or two to hit it waist level, wouldn't he be off balance, or for this type of movement are you forced to be aggressive on that 5th shot?

[@alanward3218]

the 3rd shot has to be a really good drive or drop shot and got to charge the kitchen fast enough you can be still before the ball is returned if the 3rd shot is good if not can get punished for charging.

[@TweenerKing]

It’s all about finding a balance

[@Syndrome88]

Riley blocked CJ's view for the drive volley

[@ralph7077]

Why are you not partner with Quan? Just curious. You won with him. 😊

[@MikeMcGuire1]

Great video! What software do you use to create this please?

[@TweenerKing]

Thank you! I screen record from the PPA’s KZbin and record myself at the same time then overlay the recording of me on the screen recording

[@aronisink1]

You have my vote for most improved player of the year...

[@TweenerKing]

It’s an honor!

[@diegoenlaweb2430]

Did you make a vlog for the Atlanta’s PPA?

[@TweenerKing]

I did not unfortunately. Hopefully you enjoy the match breakdowns in replace of the vlogs
